Lcgislating Over The Heads OF the
People.

Crowded over from last week.
There is the same difficulty in getting
the sentiments Of the people expressed in
constitutional law that has been exper-
fenced In Ohio. The Statesmen" as the
Tribune would call them, are so sure that
IL will not do to legislate over the heads
of the people," that when they see danger
ahead in this direction, they manipulate
speak the language Of the bosses Go on
gentlemen Make yourselves believe, if
you can, that the people are fools, "averse
to reform, and cling lovingly TO the flesh
pots" in the saloon. And yet, will you
please to tell us why il is such hard work
to get the so-calleJ statesmen" 10 submit
these questions to the votes of the people ?
Why did not the Ohio Legislature put
the local option clause in the Dow LAW
go as TO permit counties and rural Places
10 say whether our city brewers should
come among them or not? And yet you
say this kind of legislation sis over the
heads OF the people," Try it on and see.
II over their heads you may he sure the
option would hurt nobody. Voting don't
hurt the people. But somebody may gel
hnr. in trying to prevent the expression ol
public opinion by voting. So whistle
away gentlemen, for you are walking
through dangerous places and need some
way OF keeping up courage.

reports from unreliable sources, Tint large
number of such false and exaggerated reports
have been circulated, Is true. might mention
some OF them which are wholly false aud others
which had, perhaps, some grains Of truth, but
have become so mugnifed by repetition or by
intended pervcrsion, that no confidence should
be put in them. have good reasons TO believe
that some pupils have greatly misrcprcsented
school affairs and have done IL with an object.
Further, l believe that object was planned
and nbetted by older persons, who were not pu-
| pills The object has been to iniure the school,
make 1t hot for some of the teachers, and thus

hrmncss of the Board their plans were frus
trated Had they succeeded, no teacher here
after, would be safe for a moment in this school
When pupils find out that they can remove q

Perscus and Andromeda.

Although the story Of Perseus and
Andromeda Is, Of course, we'll known
to nearly all readers, yet on account Of
the great beauty and brilliancy of the
group OF consultations that perpetuate
the memory Of it among the stars, it is
worth recalling here. 1t will De re-
memberel that, as Perseus was return

of tho Gorgon Medusa, he saw the
beautiful Andromeda chained to u rock
Oil the sea coast, waiting to DO devoured
by q sea monster. The poor girls only
offence was that her mother, Cassiopeia,
had boaSted for her that she was fairer
than tho sea-beauty, Atcrgatis, and for
this Neptune had decreed that all the
land Of the Philippians should be drown
ed and destroyed unless Andromeda was
delivered up as q sacrifice to the dread
| ful sea-monSter. When PerSeus, lropp-
ing down to learn why this maiden was
chained to the rock, heard from An
dromeda's lips the story Of her woes he
laughed with JOY. Here was an adj
venture just 10 his liking, and, besides,
unlike his previous adventures, it in
volved tho fate Of q beautiful woman
with whom he awas already in loye.

The sen monster might frighten king

friends and royal relations had deserted
her. Neither could she feel much con-
lidence in her young champions powers

great sides were fripged with clustering
shells and sea-weeds, ands the water
gurgled in and out Of his wide jaws as
he rolled along, dripping and glistening
in the bearns Of the morning sun. AT
last he sow Andromeda, and shot for

foamed white behind him, and before
him the fish fed, leaping.

Tie UnionMedicale asserts that some
persons are sensitive to impressions Of
color from sounds. 1t states that DR..
Nussbaumer Of Vienna was the first to
note this peculiarity, which existed in
one of his brothers. DR.. Pedrono, an.
ophthalmologist Of Nantes, has studied
1t recently in one of his friends with
these results: "A sharp note produces
brighter and fiat note darker impress
sion of color. Music from different
instruments give different chromatio
sensations. a melody played upon the
saXophone gave the impression Of yell
low; upon the clarinet, red; upon the
piano, blue. All sounds, musical or
otherwise, give impressions In these
cases proportioned to their intensity.
The human voice gives moro delicate
impressions; in chanting they were more
marked, the predominating colors being
yellow, green, red and blue. "The

patient, us seen where the sound comes
